Chapter 160: Covenant
As we all know, in the Great Zhou Dynasty, it has always been one by one, and the two prime ministers are the management, although it is said that Emperor Zhenzong has been trying to reform, and there have even been many prime ministers, and there are more than the current two prime ministers and a deputy prime minister.
But this is not the norm!
In other words, it's just a transition.
Even if Emperor Xuanhe wanted to reform, he would not let Cai Qing stay in the position of prime minister for a long time. This is not only understood by Cai Qing himself, but also by the illusory, and Cai Qing's son, Cai Yan, the secretary of the Dali Temple who is known for being the loyal dog of Emperor Xuanhe, also understands. Therefore, Cai Yan became friends with the crown prince Song Huan, and he showed his tendencies more than once, all for the appreciation of Emperor Xuanhe and the qualifications of the prime minister.
Clearly, who would be willing to be at the mercy of others?
At least Cai Qing didn't think so.
Becoming the prime minister is only his first step, he even thought about getting Shen Xun out of power, whether it is for the sake of government or stability, his position as prime minister will be much stronger, and the relationship between Shen Xun and Emperor Xuanhe also makes this road look tempting. Person.
The reason why Cai Qing did not implement it was because the time they had been on the stage was too short, and if the time was longer, the contradictions between Cai Qing and Shen Xun would inevitably be irreconcilable.
One left and one right, how can they live in peace.
Cai Qingdu had already figured out how to win over Zhang Yanzheng as the deputy minister, but he didn't think about it, and now Unreal gave him an unexpected choice, kill Zhang Yanzheng first!
Is this kind of thing possible? What is the feasibility?
"Gongming, you look at things too simply, it doesn't mean that you must get it back if you are wronged, or if you are beaten, you must fight back, this kind of thing is a taboo for officials......" Cai Qing said lightly, as if he was unraveling the illusion, and it seemed to be teaching some kind of officialdom rules.
The illusion just smiled faintly, smiled slowly, and said loudly, "Old lady, the younger generation is young and vigorous, some anger can't stand it, this Zhang Yanzheng treats the people of the world as fools, I don't believe that Li Dongli Shaozhang has no complaints?" I don't believe that the old lady doesn't have a little indignation in her heart, this kind of person dares to do this for an official position today, so I don't know if it will go one step further tomorrow for the sake of the phase? ”
What's the next step?
Unreal didn't say it, but Cai Qing understood. Although it is said that at the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, although there are not many such things, it is not impossible. Think about what happened to Xia Yan at the beginning? It doesn't matter what kind of scholar doctor, what official family, what civil servant, what history is famous!
The reason why Xia Yan and Su Jiang's Yuanzuo Party failed was not that the names of the people with white characters on the black background on the Yuanzuo Party Monument represented the lives that had already passed away?
Cai Qing still shook his head and said slowly, "The old man is not involved in the affairs between you!" ”
"The old lady really doesn't participate?"
Illusory asked lightly, and said softly, "Or does the old lady think that it is a good thing for Miss Xia Dai to enter the palace?" Entrusted by people to be loyal, Miss Xia Dai has come to this point, who does the old lady think should be blamed? ”
Who is to blame?
Cai Qing was stunned, and he didn't know how to answer. Seriously, Xia Dai's heart has developed to this day, Cai Qing really doesn't know what she wants to do, but there is one thing he understands, that is, Xia Dai must not enter the palace, not just because he has to take care of Xia Dai, but because he sees ambition and hatred in Xia Dai's eyes.
If this Xia Dai really enters the palace and something happens, in the end, these things will fall on his shoulders. Outsiders say that the backstage of this Xia Dai is an official family, but who really knows the inside story, who doesn't know that Xia Dai is the person that the old lady Cai Qing wants to take care of?
"Entering the palace and revenge are two different concepts!"
This last sentence of the illusory became the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Yes, entering the palace and revenge are two very different concepts!
If Xia Dai really wants revenge, with her current influence and degree of favor in front of Emperor Xuanhe, she may not need to enter the palace. It's just that when you meet with Emperor Xuanhe, you can take revenge quietly by putting a little poison.
Can you enter the palace?
What you want to do is power!
In other words, Xia Dai has changed!
"What do you want to do?" Cai Qing finally asked unwillingly.
Although he and Shen Xun are opposed, they are not absolute, because both of them start from their work, although there are essential differences in many measures to govern the country, but in the final analysis, they are both doing things. It's just that this Zhang Yanzheng is different, he is from Hanlin, a close minister, and even the local government time is very short, he only relies on Emperor Xuanhe to need him.
If Zhang Yanzheng is eliminated, when the time comes, Emperor Xuanhe still needs one person, then this person can only be himself!
As for Shen Xun?
Hehe, the grievances between him and Emperor Xuanhe are not so simple, otherwise they would not have been awkward for so many years!
Illusory heard Cai Qing's question, smiled faintly and said slowly, "Since it is a visit to the prime minister, then naturally you can go to the prime minister, but I think that this position of the prime minister is a little unclear, so why don't you go to patrol around on behalf of the official family?" ”
Inspection?
This is going to be distributed!
This little monk's heart is ruthless enough. People just found some opportunities to spread rumors and make trouble, and he directly wanted to abolish Zhang Yanzheng's phase. How frightening is such a person? You must know that there are two so-called prime ministers and one deputy prime minister, and the actual power is here in the deputy prime minister. But the problem is that instead of the Son of Heaven patrolling the world, except for the three ministers, there is really no one who has this qualification to go.
Therefore, Zhang Yanzheng is the best candidate.
Besides, the governor and the title of the Son of Heaven Qincha, patrolling the world, this is a great grace, and it can be regarded as a real descendation!
But Zhang Yanzheng has something that he can't shirk. After all, this is a real qualification, and it is a qualification that attaches equal importance to opportunities and oil and water, and he can't give up at all. You must know what is the difference between him and Shen Xun and Cai Qing?
It's nothing more than qualifications.
Now it is very difficult for him to be promoted to prime minister in a short period of time, and the important reason is that no one is convinced in terms of qualifications!
If he is given the qualifications to patrol the world now, he dares to guarantee that as long as one of Cai Qing and Shen Xun retreats, then this real position of prime minister will be his.
This is the choice of long-term interests and short-term interests!
"How about leaving this to you?" Cai Qing suddenly said lightly.
Illusory's face didn't change at all, as if he had already known that Cai Qing would be like this, and smiled faintly, "Yes, this is just a beginning, if I don't have this ability, what kind of mountain will I go down to, and what kind of vulgarity?" ”
"Old lady, please wait for March, okay?"
